Chapter 278 The Childhood Sweetheart's Guide to Admitting Defeat (Part 28)

The end of the college entrance examination is summer vacation, and high school seniors who have just experienced the baptism of the college entrance examination are officially welcoming the longest vacation in the history of their student life.

But those in grades 10 and 11 still have to endure the grueling school life.

Thinking of the few test papers the teacher had just handed out, Wen Yan didn't even have the strength to hang herself.

The person looked even more wilted than an eggplant exposed to the scorching sun.

Another evening class ended, and as she stepped out of the school gate, she ran into Zhou Yan, who had come to pick her up on his bicycle.

Wen Yan's eyes lit up. She sat in the back seat, tugged at the man's clothes, and complained:

"So tired, so tired I'm numb."

Zhou Yan felt a pang of heartache seeing her noticeably haggard face. He knew firsthand how ruthless teachers could be when it came to grades.

As I was brainstorming a study plan that would balance work and rest, I suddenly heard a deep sigh from the girl behind me:

"I don't want to study anymore."

"Zhou Yan, I've discovered that B University is also located by the sea."

With a sudden stop, Zhou Yan braced his long legs on either side, turned his head to look at the girl, and remained silent.

Wen Yan stuck out her tongue and hugged his slender waist: "Okay, okay, I was just kidding. I'll definitely get into A University."

The bicycle started moving again, and I arrived home quickly.

Zhou Yan watched as the person went inside before returning to his own home, but his mind was still preoccupied with Wen Yan's words, and a worried look appeared between his brows.

Another year has passed; let's hope nothing unexpected happens.

This anxiety persisted until after I registered for university and was assigned a dormitory. When I heard the words "childhood sweetheart" and "suddenly appearing in someone's life" from my roommate, I was devastated.

There are four people in the dormitory. Besides Zhou Yan, the most outgoing one is Su Zhezhou, the one with a girlfriend is Wu Wanglei, and the chubby one with the most solid appearance is Chaofan.

The incident started when Su Zhezhou asked about his roommate's relationship status and learned that Wu Wanglei's girlfriend had a childhood sweetheart of over ten years, who also happened to like his girlfriend.

"And then?" Su Zhezhou's curiosity was piqued.

Wow, Wu Wanglei actually got the position through competition, amazing!

Wu Wanglei smiled, glanced at the water glass, and Su Zhezhou immediately poured him a glass of water, handing it to him with exaggerated movements:

"Oh dear, don't let our Brother Lei get thirsty. Quick, drink some water to soothe your throat."

Wu Wanglei took a big gulp and said, "You have good taste."

He then put down his cup and began to share his secrets to winning someone over.

"The key to pursuing someone is timing. It's all about the right time, the right place, and the right people. It's an art."

Chao Fan also became interested: "How so?"

Wu Wanglei spread his hands: "Let me put it this way, my girlfriend's childhood sweetheart is two years older than her. They separated when they went to college, to different cities, long-distance relationship. Coincidentally, my opportunity came along, and then I..."

"pat"

The book in Zhou Yan's hand fell to the ground.

The three paused, glanced at Zhou Yan's dark face, and lowered their voices: "Zhou Yan, were we too loud and disturbed you?"

It wasn't that they were cowards, but Zhou Yan's aura was too gloomy, as if he formed a unique magnetic field. Just one glance at his deadpan eyes was enough to make them back away.

Zhou Yan picked up the book. "No, I just didn't hold it properly."

The three looked at each other, realizing they had forgotten where they were when the conversation had ended, and were just about to change the subject.

Zhou Yan suddenly spoke up: "We were just talking about how she did poorly on her exam, and you comforted her."

Wu Wanglei blinked: "Holy crap, bro, you were listening all along!"

"Hmm, quite interesting." In reality, his fingers had left several marks on the book.

Wu Wanglei, speaking from experience, advised everyone in the dormitory: "Love only develops when you get close. Look, I am the best example."

"Not only does proximity matter, but timing is also crucial. I'm now grateful to that guy's family for enrolling him in a university in another city without his knowledge, so we only see each other a few times a year."

"When he's on vacation, my boyfriend has to go to school. When he goes to school, my boyfriend still goes to school. What a coincidence! When my boyfriend goes to school, I go to school too. Hahaha, the teacher is so observant, we're still deskmates."

"What makes me happiest is that my girlfriend is afraid of the dark. Before, her childhood sweetheart would walk her home with her, but now that he's gone, I'm the one who walks her home now..."

"Clap."

Wu Wanglei's voice stopped abruptly. He looked at Zhou Yan, who was picking up the book with a bad expression, and said, "Brother, did your finger cramp?"

Zhou Yan looked down at his hands, where the veins were bulging, and said in a low voice, "A little bit, I'll go stretch them out."

After saying that, he decisively put down the book, picked up the phone, went to the balcony, dialed a number, and answered after a few rings.

Wen Qingshan on the other end of the phone was puzzled. Why was Zhou Yan calling him so late?

Zhou Yan spoke gently and politely, asking a few questions before getting straight to the point: "It's nothing, it's just that I heard there are a lot more thugs around the Third Middle School..."

Wen Qingshan was startled, remembering that his daughter had come home alone that night: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Zhou Yan said with concern, "I only found out recently."

After a moment's thought, Wen Qingshan said, "Then I'll take her there for a while."

Zhou Yan's hesitation was so obvious that Wen Qingshan could sense it even over the phone, so he pressed, "Is there anything else?"

Zhou Yan seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally speaking: "Wen Yan is afraid of the dark, but she is also very strong-willed and doesn't want others to know. I used to take her home..."

After the phone call ended, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze fixed on the deep moonlight.

Wen Yan, who was chatting with 233, sneezed. Seeing that it was getting late, she was about to go to sleep when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Zhou Yan.

I answered the call happily and chatted for a while before hanging up.

Wen Yan scratched the back of her head: "Huh? This is the first time you've called this late."

As soon as Zhou Yan hung up the phone, the people who had been listening closely behind him quickly dispersed, looking left and right as if they were very busy.

Wu Wanglei, however, seemed to understand. He walked over and asked, "Girlfriend?"

Zhou Yan paused for a moment, seemingly responding with a "hmm" but not quite.

Wu Wanglei: "So you're pursuing her? Your childhood sweetheart?"

"……Um."

Wu Wanglei clenched his fist and patted his chest, confidently declaring, "Don't worry, they're just playing games I've already played. I'll help you, I guarantee we'll be on high alert, not even a male mosquito can get close."
